12 Worst Hairsprays

No. 1: Samy The Hairspray, $4.99 TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 3.5*Why: This "smells stinky," "doesn't hold at all," and "doesn't help frizz," says readers. Another woman adds, "I really can't say how this works but I can tell you that it smells so awful that I will never spray it on my hair again. It smells like wet paint and black pepper mixed together -- it made me sick. Even if it works well, I would never want my hair to smell like that." Another reader agrees saying, "this hairspray has a strange, very distinctive, offensive and disgusting odor. I could not believe it is even allowed to be on the market!" One reader who could stand the scent says, "you need to spray on a ton of this hairspray for it to do anything. It didn't hold my hairstyle at all and it seemed to spray some parts of my hair more than others." Another reader says, "OK this doesn't hold, smells like vinegar mixed with alcohol, and is too pricey for a hairspray that doesn't work," and one user says she "couldn't return it fast enough!!"

I am really shocked because the John Frieda Frizz Ease works wonders in my naturally wavy hair. I spray it all over my hair while it's still damp, clip it up, and when i take it out it's just curls and waves. But I'm sorry others don't like it!
